Title: Improvements in or relating to counting machines
IPC: G06M3/02
Filed: 1956-07-11
Abstract: 801,762. Sheet - delivery apparatus. UNIVERSAL POSTAL FRANKERS, Ltd., and PARFETT, F. May 24, 1957 [June 11, 1956], No. 18030/56. Class 100(1) A machine for counting paper or card articles which comprises means for passing the articles to be counted serially through the machine, a counting mechanism for recording the passage of each article through the machine, and a brake mechanism which interrupts the feeding of further articles into the machine in the event of more than one article being fed into the machine at the same time, is characterized by the provision of apparatus adapted to be actuated by the same means as the counting mechanism and which is arranged to bring the brake mechanism into operation to interrupt the feeding of further articles into the machine when a predetermined number of articles has been passed through the machine. The counting machine may be as described in Specification 709,436. A single-toothed spur wheel 4, Fig. 2, is adjustably secured to and is adapted to engage a spur wheel 7 once in each revolution. A cam 8 having diametrically opposed lobes 9 and 10 is fixed to the wheel 7. The cam 8 actuates one end of a cam follower lever 12, pivoted intermediate its ends, and the other end of which co-operates with a finger 14 fixed on an extrusion of a shaft 15 through fhich the brake mechanism is operated. In operation, if it is desired to separate the articles into batches of a hundred, then the spur wheel 4 is arranged to be driven through one revolution for every twenty articles and the spur wheel 7 is provided with ten teeth. Thus the lobes 9 and 10 on the cam 8 will actuate the lever 12 each time a hundred articles have been counted to stop the machine. The mechanism is mounted on a support 1 and the lever 12 is carried on a mounting 16 pivoted to the block 1 so that it may be swung out of operatipe position when continuous a gear 5, driven from the gears through which the counting mechanism is actuated, operation of the counting machine is desired. The mounting 16 is pivoted at 17 and is provided with a stop member 18 which normally abuts the support 1 under the action of a spring 19. The mounting 16 is also provided with a knob 21 which operates a spring loaded detent for locating the mounting in its operative and inoperative positions by co-operation with recesses in an adjustable plate 23. For distinguishing between a stoppage due to faulty feed and one due to a batch of articles having been counted an additional two-lobed cam 24 is arranged to rotate with the cam 8 and to act on the arm 25 of a microswitch, closure of which causes an indicator lamp to be illuminated.

Abstract: 866,634. Determining physical qualities of materials. BECKMAN INSTRUMENTS Inc. May 29, 1959, No. 18308/59. Class 37. [Also in Group XXIII] A leak structure comprises a glass wall separating two zones and having an opening therethrough filled with a porous plug interconnecting the two zones, the plug having been sintered from a mixture of glass and particles of an inert material infusible at the sintering temperature. Fig. 1 shows an electrolytic measuring-cell comprising a glass electrode 14, a calomel reference electrode 16 and an indicating or control device 29. A salt solution 20 is introduced through an opening 21 in the tube 19 of lead or borosilicate glass. A controlled leak 22 is formed by drawing out the end of the tube 19 to form a pocket which is filled with a mixture of a finely-powdered glass frit and a powdered. inert material of higher melting-point such as carbides of tungsten, silicon, boron; metals such as chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, tantalum, zirconium, germanium, platinum, palladium or iridium; alloys of such metals; mica, asbestos, garnet, porcelain, zircon, sillimanite; oxides of titanium, zirconium, aluminium; boron nitride, silica, or magnesium aluminate.

Abstract: 1396321 Platform conveyer system DUNLOP Ltd 30 May 1972 [1 June 1971] 18374/71 Heading B7L An endless platform conveyer comprises an (upper) load-carrying zone and a (lower) return zone, a rotatable member 2 disposed at a junction of these zones having heads 5 for locking engagement with conveyer platforms 1, head-receiving sockets 5a in the platforms 1 and driving means to rotate the member 2 whereby the platforms 1 are secured to the wheel by locking and subsequent unlocking of the heads 5 in the sockets 5a while the member 2 moves the platforms 1 between the zones. The member 2 comprises a hub 4 carrying at least two radiallyoutwardly extending arms 3, each arm 3 terminating in a part-spherical head member having a pair of pins 14 extending radially and oppositely to form the T-shaped carrying head 5. Shaft 13 of the hub 4 carries a grooved cam 12 engaged by a cam-follower 11 of a quadrant 8 pivoted at 9 to frame 10 of the member 2. The quadrant 8 has teeth engaging a gear-wheel 7 mounted on the arm 3, so that rotation of shaft 13 causes rotation of arm 3 and head 5 to lock and then unlock the head 5 in the socket 5a. This socket 5a has a hole 15 and slot to receive the head, and grooves 16 terminating in shoulders to lock the pins 14 upon rotation of the head 5. As shown in Fig. 2, a platform 1 reaching the end of the load-carrying zone is at an acute angle to the path of the conveyer and two members 2 are spaced apart in the direction of this path so that the ends of the platform are simultaneously each engaged by one of the members 2. Alternatively, a single member 2 may be used engaging the platform 1 substantially at its centre.

Title: Improvements in road-contouring apparatus
IPC: G01C7/00
Filed: 1919-07-28
Abstract: 165,845. Evans, W. E., (Williams, J. H.). July 28, 1919. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Road-contouring apparatus; course-recording apparatus, - The apparatus resolves the movements in the vertical plane of the carriage on which it is mounted into their horizontal and vertical components by means of duplicate and independent mechanisms deriving. movement from a first motion member whose movement is determined by the path traversed. The movements of the mechanisms are transmitted on to a record sheet and the other to a scriber for recording the horizontal and vertical components respectively. The resolving means comprise a rocking-frame H<2> swing- ing about an horizontal axis H and having an extension H<1> passing through a swivel pin C at the end of an arm B which is rotated from a road wheel of the carriage. Two pairs of cranks F<1>, F<2> are mounted on horizontal axes in the plane of the axis H in such a way that when one pair is horizontal the other pair is vertical, and are driven by gearing from a spindle D to which a pendulum is secured. Corresponding cranks are connected by rods G<1>, G<2> on which are slidably mounted cross-heads L<1>, L<2> which can also slide on guides H<3> carried by the frame H<2>. The cross-heads are connected by rods K, K<1> to sliding clutches M, M<1> which are arranged adjacent to belts &c. W passing round pulleys V, V<1> and are actuated so as to grip the belts on one side during the outward strokes of the rods K, K<1>, and on the other side during the return strokes so that the reciprocating motions of the rods are converted into continuous motion of the pulleys. The pulley V is geared to rollers X carrying the record sheet and the pulley V<1> to a screw Y working in a nut which carries the scriber. To adapt the apparatus for recording the travel of the carriage in an horizontal plane, the pendulum is disconnected from the spindle D which is then turned to follow the movements of the carriage in azimuth, either by hand according to the indication of a prismatic compass &c. or by the arrangement shown in Fig. 8. This arrangement comprises a bevel-pinion AA operated by clockwork &c. and gearing with pinions AC both normally clutched to the spindle D so that the latter does not turn. When the carriage turns in azimuth, one of the pinions AC is unclutched by an electromagnet controlled by a switch which is operated by a compass needle. The pulley AG on the spindle T is geared to the switch, which is thus turned to follow the movement of the compass needle, so that the total rotation of the spindle is equal to the total azimuth movement of the carriage. The effective length of the arm B may be adjusted by a micrometer. In a modification, the cranks F<1>, F<2> are replaced by a pair of pendulums having vertical and horizontal extensions.
